As in: if the VPS goes pop, can you bring it back up by telling it to recover from the backing store?

100

But like from the sounds of it your local client talks to the VPS which talks to the backing store (I've used Wasabi previously). The question is whether all the data to recreate any state on the VPS is also on the backing store.

100

Also if you have data loss on the VPS, does the data on Wasabi allow you to recover or is there state stored only on the VPS?

Does Nextcloud on macOS integrate as a File Provider?

There will be losses, but not the majority. What actually happens: no condensation step. Water comes in and is evaporated to the atmosphere. That's it. There are better options. We're not using them. 🧵 2/2

Today in things I was wrong about & you should understand: AI does use water in a wasteful way. What should happen: closed loop cooling. Take water, run it through heat exchangers, evaporate it, condense it, return it to the pool, run it through heat exchangers, evaporate it, repeat forever. 🧵 1/2

PROTIP: if you have a lot of small files you want to put in cloud storage on a Mac, use iCloud. It handles it like a champ. What I WANT to use is Dropbox, so it's not tied to an ecosystem, but Dropbox absolutely chokes with lots of small files. Really badly. Which is why I'm having an rclone party.

Playing VOYAGER: ACROSS THE UNKNOWN. sort of good? I think? not totally convinced it could work without the trek licence. anyway, to my absolute surprise, it surfaced an episode of VOYAGER which I've not seen! ("Rise")

I don't have the skills for this. Too Deep AI. But it's where you could make a HUGE impact. 🧵 3/3

Think about the problem, at its root, being that we interact with agents through chat. Wouldn't it be safer if we could find a way to structure that data, more so than just passing a structured object in chat? 🧵 2/3

Made an autonomous agent harness? Cool cool. No, I understand, that's everyone's dream right now. You rock on. I won't be fucking touching it until we solve prompt injection. 🧵 1/3

Holy shit. The KARR and SWDS "security" units - designed to help you prevent car theft, are vulnerable for absolute clowntown reasons. - They bridge BLE to CAN. - They protect that BLE interface with a key... - ...which is stored in plaintext in the mobile app.

Way to go! You just convinced me that you have no understanding of my condition whatsoever despite my repeated attempts to explain it. Top marks.

Turns out that no matter how defensively you program, your code doesn't get executed if it doesn't get imported. Anyway, that was the last three hours of my life.

you can decentralise without a blockchain! unthinkable! scandal!

aaaah, I love keyoxide so much. Since keybase was just left to rot, EXTREMELY disappointingly, this is a truly fantastic replacement which is entirely decentralised. wish it supported more proofs, but it's got the important stuff. keyoxide.org/8EA4E68124FE...

Anyone going off about backups will be stabbed in the eyes. Because I don't have cause to use my key much (I sign my commits with a SSH key) the data loss happened over a year ago. All my backups had aged out.

I managed to delete the secret key material for my GPG key. Well, piss. Let me tell you about revocation certificates. This doesn't contain your secret keys, but can be used to revoke the key. I had one, and thus it was easy to revoke the key and generate a new one. Generate one. Trust me.

The worst thing about a nut shot is that in the instant of it, nothing happens. You have a brief window where you know what's coming, you know how bad it's going to be, and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it. Then someone spends the next five minutes inflating a balloon in your abdomen.

"Name one school district." "Name one school." This is what you say to every single person who makes this obviously idiotic, bogus claim. You place the burden of proving it on them, and when they can't, you tell them they're full of shit and you're done with them.

The biggest con in the world outside the White House is delivery companies' "leave in a safe place" feature. It's not about making things more convenient for you. You essentially sign away all rights to complain about the state or loss of your parcel when you choose it. Watch the fine print.

It's particularly awful because the frontier models are actually way more right than wrong these days. But the cheap customer service chatbots (and whatever Google's search AI is backed on) appears to be running on a potato. And then there's such SURPRISE when shitty platforms produce shitty results
